Bailey Finley is a diverse flautist who avidly promotes new music. Her specialty is working with composers to develop new repertoire for the flute.
She is a co-founder of Trio Taco, a new music group that works to make contemporary music more approachable through education. With the trio, Finley has premiered numerous works and performed across Canada. During summer 2018 the trio completed a successful educational tour in Ontario featuring music by living composers.
Finley is an active performer in Victoria’s new music scene often collaborating with the Victoria Composers Collective and other local composers. She was a guest artist for the Victoria Composers Collective during their 2018 Okanagan tour and performer/organizer for their 3rd annual Oak Bay New Music Festival. Outside of the new music scene, Finley also pairs with Emily MacCallum to create a celtic flute and fiddle duo. February 2018 they hosted An Evening of Celtic Music in Kamloops, BC, which raised enough money to send a student to Kamloops Interior Summer School of Music.
Bailey values the sense of community and belonging that music can create and is working to help share this with as many people as possible. Many of her projects feature educational components, sliding scale admission fees and diverse composer demographics.
